Although winning this year has been just as stellar as the last, I think a significant part for me this year was the confidence that everyone had in themselves and each other. There were points in the game when I would look into the faces of my teammates and know that we had this.

Oh my goodness! Winning NCAA's is the greatest end to one of the most memorable years of my life. Before winning, I was so sad to become a sophomore because I didn't want to leave or forget freshman year. It has been such an exciting and ridiculously fun year, but going out with a bang such as winning a national championship is the ultimate icing (or cream cheese frosting) on the cake! I have been on many teams throughout my water polo career, yet I have never loved every single one of my teammates as much as I do. I know all of my other teammates feel this way, and I believe that is why we won. Let me tell you, winning is the best feeling. It makes ALL of your work worth it and it will keep me motivated for a long time.

NCAAs this year were a true dream. Being able to come back to the pool where we lost the Championship game two years ago and to be able to play the same opponent was a cherry on top of this season for me. My favorite part of the weekend was seeing my teammates before the championship game and knowing that they would do anything in their power to ensure that we won. Just seeing the determination on their faces will be something that I will carry with me forever. I just want to say thank you to my amazing teammates for giving me the best Senior year anyone could ask for. Also thanks to all of the fans who have supported us throughout the season and to the families that have traveled to countless games to cheer us on. I love you all!!!

This season has been incredible to say the least. In the Championship game, after Pallavi scored our 6th goal, I remember looking up at the game clock and seeing we had just over a minute left to play. That last minute of the game, playing nails defense with my team, was probably the most fun minute of water polo I've ever played. It was my last minute of collegiate water polo, last minute playing with this awesome team, last minute before winning a national championship.

My absolute favorite part of NCAAs was the moment right after Pallavi's goal in the finals. I screamed so hard no sound even came out and started crying all at the same time! It was the moment I knew we were going to win and I will never forget that amazing feeling and how proud I was of our team!!
